Watchet, North Devon
UNITED KINGDOM
I love the expression of contentment on this iguana. It makes me smile to see a reptile like this one look so humanlike - relaxed, content and carefree.

"Focused"
Ashford, Kent
UNITED KINGDOM
Pepe the cheetah is just a beautiful cat. So sleek and cunning, she got ready to pounce and I managed this shot in which I really like the composition and expression.

"Bengal portrait"
Ashford, Kent
UNITED KINGDOM
I really like this shot - it's a classic portrait shot of a beautiful beast. I took several, but I think this one really portrays the majestic nature of this Bengal tiger.

"Serval stalking food"
Ashford, Kent
UNITED KINGDOM
Servals are very unusual cats, pouncing vertically in the air to snare their prey. This young cat was quite active and I loved catching him mid-hiss.

"Don't look away now"
Ashford, Kent
UNITED KINGDOM
Cheetahs' eyes are very difficult to focus on because they are set back in their heads, but I love this classic stalking pose as she locked her gaze on me.

"Pre-pounce mania"
Ashford, Kent
UNITED KINGDOM
This is one of my favourites. This leopard was literally about a five feet away from me and closing in - the fisheye lens helped capture the movement and distort the perspective.

"Hungry eyes"
Ashford, Kent

A nice action shot of this Bengal tiger. His eyes are ferocious and focused and his actions show that he is prepared to stalk his prey... and succeed.

"Something in the rough"
Ashford, Kent
UNITED KINGDOM
I quite like the expression of this adult snow leopard - almost as if she has spotted something and is rather perplexed at what it might be. She's full of character.

"Crush"
Ashford, Kent

This massive Siberian tiger was just majestic. He wasn't exploring too much, but when he came into view, I zoomed right in to get a glimpse of those bone crunching teeth.

I love the cheekiness of this Bengal beauty. He was pacing around for several minutes, jittery and restless. It was nice that this shot captured the atmosphere.
